This utterly turned my stomach when I first heard it. Where the hell did the real America go??

 

At the previous GOP debate, they cheered when Rick Perry announced how many prisoners had been executed under his terms as governor of Texas.

 

yet they are suppose to be pro-life. Im sure if their insurance didnt cover their illness they wouldnt scream "I guess since I ran out of insurance its time for me to die"

 

Those people are disgusting

 

they are screaming repeal mandated healthcare but they arent moving on mandated car insurance. HHHMMMM

 

Ron Paul's campaign manager died at 49 in 2008 of pneumonia which was untreated because he had no insurance.

Bachmann claimed last night that she was offended about the Gardasil order Perry had signed "on behalf of the girls who had no choice." Considering neither she nor Perry want women to have reproductive health care choices, I consider that the height of hypocrisy.

And I read last week that statistically you have a higher chance of having Perry execute you than you do of dying in a plane crash.

 

that is too ironic. Im sure ron would change his tune if it was his son who ran out of insurance.

 

Makes you wonder what they'd say should happen to an unborn, undocumented, uninsured fetus in a death row inmate.

Think their heads might implode from the cognitive dissonance?

 

LOL PIxie.

These senile fools have lost their freaking minds.

Of course many of them wouldn't care about uninsured folks, many of those Tea Party dinosaurs are waiting on the call go six feet' deep.

They don't even have any shame left about their repugnant mindset on some of these issues.

Its like they just need to be as viscerally divisive in their putrid ranting so that they can lay claim to being some kind of Americana avengers, whilst they garner and marinade in the attention that publicity fiends such as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian would envy on their best days in front of the cameras.

 

Well said. They disgust me. They wouldn't recognize compassion if it slapped them in the face with a wet tuna. They *are* shameless, as well as lying sacks of dog poop.

I truly do NOT understand how this movement gained so much traction. Perhaps I'm naive - but since when were Americans so *hateful* to others??That's not what I was taught, in school or at home. It's disgusting, and they make me ashamed.

I don't have the link handy but there was a news story today about a 101 year old woman in Detroit whose home, which she'd live in something like 60 years, was foreclosed upon. Her son forgot to pay the mortgage.

WTF is wrong with people?

 

With "christians" like the Tea Baggers who needs non believers? They are the GOP are just heartless pieces of dung.

 

Its all good till they're the ones who can't afford healthcare. We must remember the loudest don't speak for us all.

 

It's all a matter of perspective.

These same people want to punish corporations when they lose their middle class jobs because they believe they have a "right" to them. Yet, if some indigent family is provided with the paltry benefits available to them in this country, they want to cry foul.

So, what's the difference in demanding "corporate welfare", as a guarantee of employment, versus government welfare to provide meager assistance to those in need?

 

It really boggles the mind what is at work here exactly.

One of the richest nations on Earth cannot provide accessible health care to all its citizens. How does anyone not find something wrong with that.

 

Yep exactly bro, when they are the one's facing being denied quality treatment because they cannot afford the cost.

I swear these folks just speak to hear their own voices. Do they stand back and think critically about the words they utter.

You come into an emergency room via an ambulance and you are automatically sent a 1000 dollar bill here in NYC.

If you don't have insurance coverage best of luck paying that as a working stiff.

Something is troubling about folks who think like the Tea Party and where that can leave ordinary, hard working Americans who live from paycheck to paycheck.

 

Cmon guy that is the problem right there, the current system is a piss poor solution.

Be sick, show up in an emergency room and get charged for a bill that most ordinary people cannot afford when it is sent to them afterwards.

What exactly are you defending here. Surely not the Tea Party's mindset, surely not the current system of health care in this nation and how it operates.

What makes you sit up here and assume everyone here is some socialist loon. I am far from a socialist, heck I used to share many tenants of the Republican party but became disgusted with politics and now simply find politics irrepressible.

I have seen how the health care system operates and there is nothing cool about it if you are uninsured.

You can be very casual about it, but nonetheless its ramifications affect millions of American citizens, not all are low class bums mooching off the system. Many bust their asses and still know where things stand if they need medical care and what that could mean down the line.

 

See my post previously in regards to you stating.

You seem to be assuming that someone who is uninsured is some social leech and welfare case. I would hope you realize there are people out there doing jobs that doesn't give them access to insurance.

Guess they should just get a new job. The current healthcare system and how it operates is the issue not the individual seeking care.

 

I wonder if he considers the millions who have paid into the system for years and suddenly find themselves without a job. Are they leeches?
Bottom line whether insured or not being sick shouldn't be a decision between dying or being destitute. How about less military spending and more monwy being invested into healthcare. Its that simple.

 

Exactly, this is the "health of our society" we are talking about.

I just find the line of thinking very odd like folks who seek healthcare because they are sick are some freeloading welfare cases.

I'm a big stickler for taking care of your own business, but I am not naive as to the current health care system and what it can mean if someone desires quality care. Just for stepping foot in an emergency room and a doctor breathing on you will run you a good amount.

If you don't have insurance you are screwed when the bill comes, especially if you are a responsible person that won't choose to just ignore the bill and have it affect your future financial standing on things such as credit, loans, etc.
